Tips to find a great child care provider without overpaying

  • Be flexible on experience. Some of the best child care on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced child care with 10+ years. References matter more than years.
  • Consider a share. If your kids are similar ages and you live near another family, a share is the single biggest cost reduction available without compromising on care.
  • Be specific about hours upfront. Most child care will take a slightly lower rate for a guaranteed steady schedule than for a higher-rate, unpredictable one.
  • Bundle benefits thoughtfully. Two weeks PTO, a health stipend, transit passes, education assistance, or an annual raise commitment can help close the gap with families offering a higher hourly rate.
  • Match rate to responsibilities. A higher rate often makes sense once you add cooking, errands, or driving. Don't compare apples to oranges across listings.

I have worked in a licensed childcare center where I worked with children ranging from infant to 11 years old. I helped with virtual learning as well as made my own lesson plans for the summer months. I accompanied children on field trips and was responsible for their well being at all times. I recently completed one semester of College but due to financial strain and uncertainty of what I want to pursue I have decided to wait on that for a couple of years. I am ready and committed to love and treat your child/ children as if they were family.
